“When I walked out of my last cancer treatment at Penn, my perspective on life had changed. I made the decision right then and there to follow my dream and open my own business. Now that we are up and running, I want to show my deep appreciation and support for the institution that gave me hope and saved my life, while ensuring other men with cancer also have the opportunity to follow their dreams.”
– Ed Tell, testicular cancer survivor, RAZRBAR founder

“My sister, Sarah, was a remarkable young woman from whom I continue to learn about facing challenges with an optimistic view of the future. She was enthusiastic about life and never lost sight of what could be, rather than what is right now. Organizing a charitable golf tournament in her name helps keep her spirit alive in the hearts of many, but most importantly in our own hearts. I could never tell you often enough how grateful we are to the people who have given their time and support to this cause. Sarah would have enjoyed their company and counted them as friends.”

Golf Outings to Support Cancer Research and Survivorship Programs

Penn’s Abramson Cancer Center is a place of healing and inspiration – through innovative research and compassionate care, charitable donations provide hope to patients and families.

“Philanthropy is incredibly important to our ability to offer important survivorship care and research to the growing number of cancer survivors,” says Linda Jacobs, PhD, RN, Director, LIVESTRONG Survivorship Center of Excellence at the Abramson Cancer Center. “Philanthropy ensures patients and families are empowered to have the best possible quality of life after treatments and remain cancer-free. We are grateful to our many friends who are dedicated to raising awareness and vital funds to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.”
